tcpmp problems

hello to all.
i have a problem with tcpmp on my p3600.
all movies and clipps that i am playing starts with voice but after 2 sec it mutes and i have only video.
what is the problem ?
in the jasjar thers no problame.

its a p3600 problem

same problem with all news htc...
****!
is incredible...

I've had issues, but not the one stated... Mine plays the sound fine, but has tonnes of error blocks in the picture. I'm using the same encoder (Pocket Divx) and TCPMP version I used on my Magician (correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find a newer version of TCPMP)... Any suggestions on what to change would be gratefully received...

As stated a zillion times in this forum: switch to raw mode ( i dunno if it helps cause i dont use that app... but that is what they say)

I also can't get TCPMP to work.
I get a severe stuttering screen then it goes black. When I touch the screen it then switches to full screen mode and then plays with a slight stutter.
However the clip repeats itself and I can't quit out of the program, my only option is to press the reset buton.

I'm using TCPMP and after changing to raw have had no issues.

Well, I wouldn't say "no issues". Rawframe buffer is probably the slowest displaying method.
I tend to use DirectDraw, but under DirectDraw preferences, change output to YV12 (it defaults to RGB I believe). Everything then plays fine. It's not as fast as hardware accelerated video (ATI Imageon), but until Coreplayer/TCPMP provides proper support for Imageon, DD will have to do.

Hey, thanks for that tip. I think it does work better in DirectDraw .

directdraw
This may be a stupid question but I don't have an option for directdraw. My only options are
ATI IMAGEON
Raw frameBuffer
GDI
Null Video
Disabled
Where can I find Directdraw?
Thanks

RAW Mode
I have installed the fixed, but my video has still blocked in it.
I read that I have to put TCPMP into RAW mode but how can I do that?
I can not find this option
Many thanx

Go to Options:Video and you will see the choice.
This fix worked for me on an Orange M700 (HTC3600). Select the ATI IMAGEON option, not the ATI IMAGEON Decoder.
I also have the Smooth Zoom (only 50%) option and Dither checked.

Thanx, it works oke now...
Now I am searching for dutch spoken movies... anyone?

I have a SPV M700 and I have same problem with TCPMP audio stopping after 2-3 seconds no matter how I configure it. There is another alternative to TCPMP as good as it?
One curios thing I observed is that when I flashed a fresh new WM6 and installed first the TCPMP only I had no problem with it but after i added all the rest of software this problem start to appear.
Another thing I observed if i switch to full screen and back sometimes randomly this problem dissapear.

Full TCPMP v.72 w/ ALL Codecs?

I searched but can't find a 1 .cab install of TCPMP with all the codecs(.wmv, .wma, .flv, etc...). Is there one?

I think you need this one

Sorry, to ask what i think is a dumb question, but I've been trying to sort out TCPMP all day long and am way too tired now to look through more threads!!!
1. Where do I put the three dll that come in the plugin zip?
2. What's this "Overclocked to 247" mean?
At present, I get sound BUT: a black screen, and refusal to play avi files (coverted by PocketDivXEncoder_0.3.60).
Thanks in advance...

1.put The Dll'S in Program Files\Tcmp Folder where Tcmp.exe is
2. Overclocked to 247 mean the cpu is clocked over the default 200mhz speed with omap clock.

I have the HTC Touch from Sprint and I have the 0.72 version. I uninstall the 0.72 then install the 0.81 cab. When it was done, I tried to run tcpmp and I get a crash.txt error message.
Can anyone help?

Based on the link, it seems the fix is only for 0.72 and not for the 0.81. Do you all have this issue with the 0.81 version?

anyway to get this support opera 9.5?

0.81? woww, the las version that I found is .072 RC1, and it's too old.
is there any new page or any dev team developing it??

rofl.
0.81 is not too old.
you just do NOT know its potential.
and forget about that new recompiled thrash posted there somewhere.

im pretty sure hes saying .72 RC1 was too old...

0.81 and 0.72 are almost SAME programs, all you need is good set of codecs + some knowledge -- how to use it.
of course, there may be some problems on some machines, BUT 2/3 of these problems can be solved with prefs combinations.
do not say there is better program than tcpmp.EVER.
..ok just ignore me now, i am worshipper of tcpmp, and NEVER had ANY problems that i cannot solve...
just 3 cents from me.
just cannot stand if someone is saying that tcpmp is "old" = crappy.
it doesn't matter.
good pack = happiness, NOTHIN more.

I've combined the codecs and tcpmp .81 posted by zcink into one .cab
just install this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=442c5108678df88f1686155677bb2685a43d88cace4d0fcb
and you've got it
however, I have a previous version cooked into my ROM, and every time I open it, it says "Unexpected program failure. Please send 'crash.txt' to the developers. Program will now exit."
Is this because of the previous cooked-in version, or a different problem?

Ok, I need some help.
So far, whatever type of media player I use, my videos tend to lag and freeze. They only seem to run smoothly when I play them at 80% speed. I would love perfect playback!!! So:
1. I have read that I am best to use a convertor first. I've tried PocketDivXEncoder_0.3.60, but it converts them to _avi's meaning that no player can play them! I just get "unknown file format!". What am I doing wrong?
2. Only ATI IMAGEON Decoder and ATI IMAGEON give me playback (any other video setting on tcpmp gives me a black screen). BUT, it freezes and lags unless I set speed to 80%! I have as yet found no way to get 100% visual and audio playback.
I've read up on so many threads on this, but there seems to be so much differing advice out there.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has advice.
Mattster.
UPDATE: Coreplayer plays files created by PocketDivXEncoderworks which don't for some reason play on TCPMP, so I'll stick with that!

Best settings Coreplayer on a Xperia?

I just bought the newest coreplayer because it bothered me that there was so much i could not play smooth or could not play at all.
I now have it installed, and i was wondering what the best settings are so it will play any video smooth.....
Any suggestions?

I'd like to know that too.

There is no free Coreplayer unless it's cracked right? That would be illegal mate and make the mods come knocking on your door very quickly....
Just a hint....

To get back on-topic:
If you have coreplayer then you can play almost any avi, mp4, xvid file you might have. No need to encode movies, unless you want to shrink down the size and resolutions, otherwise... copy, paste and play

lol, nevermind

so no one can answer the first post then??

I benchmarked a few things and came up with these settings:
These speed up things a little, but not much. (+1fps):
Video:
- "QTv Display" is fastest for me
- "Smooth Zoom" : "Only for 50%" <--- screen resolution is high, you will not see a difference in quality.
Advanced:
- "Slow video memory" : Enable <--- Speedup!
- "Higher priority music playback" : Enable <---- Music plays even if you surf in Opera.
- "Disable AVC deblocking filter" <---- enormous speedup, but makes the quality of the video worse (blocking/artiiacts)
QTv Display:
- "TyTN II" driver mode: Enable <----- Speedup on X1
Other settings (no speedup, but are nice):
Player:
- Play music in background
- Single click fullscreen
Advanced:
- Register with SPB Menu system

Is your xperia a prototype? I've got a release one and CorePlayer seems to be able to use the Imageon chip (fast)

Coreplayer don't use the imagineon chip...

Hope for the 2.0 version...

yeah I asked the same question and they need to give us an update for the youtube.

coreplayer integrated youtube
The integrated youtube used to work on all settings. Now it seems it only works on the RTSP setting under network. This is the lowest possible quality but it works.

hy, i found the solution, just change the "YouTube Format" in the network settings to "RTSP (medium)" and the integratet browser and player works like a charm but, now i have the next problem ^^ is it possible to stream any tv shows like giga etc? i always get error messages. i think the xperia has superior hardware but the software is just some piece of ****. at the moment i can stream nearly nothing ^^ is that a fault of the codecs or of the player itself?

Very strange - on my sex1 this player is SLOW AS HELL!!!
Only 10fps! Video 800x480x25 etc. according the Encoder's settings.
But Windows Media works normal at the same time............

in many movies on youtube they say that the coreplayer has blue screen flickering with video palyback (with video out cable)

I have been looking at CorePlayer, the WindowsMobile PocketPC version, and under notes it says:
CE/Windows Mobile/PocketPC/Smartphone
---------------------------------------------------------
- Does not support the Qualcomm MSM7200 QTv chipset (we only support the MSM7500)

Edit: no idea why it says the above, but I bit the bullet and bought the app and it works soooo sweetly =)

I used coreplayer on my tytn2 but it won't run on my touch pro 2 it fails to start everytime ????

just downloaded an ipod movies .mp4 video and all it shows up as on the built in media player is perfect sound but a green screen ??? why is it so hard to play video's on my phone

I'm using Coreplayer 1.3.2 Build 6909 for ARM atm on my TP2. Had no problem with the install, and it runs all my Xvid/DivX movies just fine.
Mediaplayer, wont show any files in its library so i stopped using that, for music I'm using that crappy Touchflo player (library is too limited for me)
For Vid's I really recommend you to use Coreplayer, it plays music as well, although I haven't tried that yet

just looked at their site and they want me to pay $29 for it !!!! it may be annoying not to be able to watch certain movies on my phone but it isn't worth parting with the much money. I used TCPMP player previously before it became commercially Coreplayer, it worked on my tytn and it was free, since it's become commercial I guess it's no longer an option.

MP4 Player fix for TP2 PLEASE!?
I'd just like to take this moment to say AHHHHHH!!! I'm about to pull what little hair i have left OUT!!
Ok... I've dug through 1000s of sites and forums, 100s of downloads, installs, uninstalls onto memory card and or directly onto my phone. Downloaded even directly to Desktop computer to open / transfer / unzip to removable, then active sync, drag drops, etc... etc...etc...
I had a good TCPMP Player on my winMo5.0 phone that lasted me the last couple years. Now on TP2 WinMo6.1 It doesnt work and i FINALLY found a new one to download and hear people DO have it working on theirs while others don't.... the player they sent with the device beyond sucks!! and I am unable to view flash on the fly..
I even PAID for the download and recieved NO help whatsoever so I'm here after a YEAR of great advice from you all...
I downloaded TCPMP.pocketPC.0.72rc1,
ran the .cab and all seemed to work correctly and even have the shortcut in my programs.. I click on it and receive this pop open:
::::Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit::::
I read some on people saying there is a fix or an add.. please help this long term beginner... PLEASE... I would pay if anYONE could make this simple.. I need to use my phone and cant risk dinking around tOO much with it.
AnYthInG... PLEASE?!?!
gOOOD mp4 player that has been tested and you can walk me through step by step
OR if Im to use the player on the phone currently, how can I create an option for it to auto replay until I can fix the TCPMP so I can move smoothly through the frames
GREATLY appRecIated in AdvAnCe!!!

Which Coreplayer version for us?
I see there are 2 arm versions of coreplayer. For the TP2, would I get the "Pocket PC / Arm" or "Smartphone / Arm" version? Both say they are for Windows Mobile.

Download the version of TCPMP that you'll find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3275845&postcount=172
Then go into the Settings screen, the DirectDraw page, and tick the box that says "use blitting instead of overlay".

iplayer downloads?? Can't get them to work.

Sorry for the noobish question but my problem is as follows....
I know the BBC Iplayer site states the HD2 is not compatable and either way I thought I'd put some downloaded programmes on my phone to watch.
So I downloaded them as 'portable device download' from the iplayer site to my PC and then tried to drop them onto the card to watch. They're WMV files. But I get an error message stating "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconected".....not sure what I'm doing wrong and would be glad of some advice. All I'm trying to do is copy and paste them over to the phone card.

Anyone?

Can't explain that I'm afraid but I did read a while back that the files need to be synched through Windows Media Player and in the past that the file needs to pass a drm check before it will play - someone wrote even longer back that starting to play the fie on the PC so it checks drm, then moving it worked.
Do you get that message when moving anything else to your sd card?

This is a problem to do with transferring large files rather than the HD2's ability to play the WMV files. Try connecting the HD2 in Disk Drive mode - it worked for me.

You might want to try searching this site for an application called myplayer - it makes accessing iPlayer a lot less painful and allows higher-quality downloads.

This may not solve your problem but you can use the BBC iPlayer on the HD2 with a simple change of settings. See point number 36 in the *Leo Hints & Tips* - Things you may not have known.

TCPMP is more likely to be stable (i.e. not crash or lock up the phone) in GDI or Raw Framebuffer mode. So is CorePlayer, come to that.
If TCPMP is crashing before it even lets get you into the menu, that may be because it's trying to display the opening frame of the video that you previously told it to play, and doing that in DirectDraw mode. You can get around that by temporarily moving or renaming whichever file it's trying to display.

I have myPlayer and Coreplayer.
With myPlayer you get the latest viewable content ... but can search for anything. If you have the iPlayer website open that may be easier to search.
Once you've found what you want, just use myPlayer to download over wireless to your device (you can also stream for instant playback (even over 3g).
myPlayer has a view downloads screen with all the programmes you've downloaded. You select one, say view now ... it launches Coreplayer ... and it plays perfectly.
Never had a problem. This is infact one of the most amazingly together capabilities of the HD2 with this huge screen. In the evening I choose something to watch on the train on the way to the city the next day ... love it.

OK. I tried moving the file, but it's still crashing. I'll uninstall it again, later, and delete any settings that are left behind in the registry. And when I get TCPMP working again, I'll give those other modes a go.

Having got iplayer downloads to play on my HD2 having put them on the sd card I'm now having some playback problems.
Basically the quality of the picture and the sound is fine in principal but upon playback on WMP the programme pauses or sticks every second or so. The pause is only for a fraction of a second, just enough for the picture to momentarily catch or stick before continuing. I could live with this but at the same time the sound is also distorted making programmes unwatchable. If downloaded to my PC the same programmes are fine, it's not the download itself it's just once on the phone thats the problem.
Tried various programmes, all the same. Tried downloading direct from iplayer site to the card, still occurs.
Could this be a card problem. It's a sandisk 8Gb SDHC card. Any ideas?

I configured Opera to try direct streaming from iPlayer ... and it worked fine althought he picture was a little pixelated.
I know CorePlayer is a cost ... but if iPlayer is important to you, the combination of myPlayer and Coreplayer for iPlayer (and other channels) is incredibly simply ... live streaming is better quality ... and the download manager is completely seemless. Quality of downloaded video is genuinely perfect ... as good as anything at high bit rates I have on my Archos AV5100.
All I can say is that if you can stretch to Coreplayer ... I'd go with myPlayer.
Going through the website for either streaming or download (even on a PC) is so much more clunky.

I haven't tried this on an HD2, but on my TP2 you can quite good results from myplayer without having to buy CorePlayer; I use Streaming Media Player for streaming, and TCPMP to play the .mov downloads.
